1957 Map of Baldwinsville

About this map

The convergence of the Seneca River, Oneida River, and Oswego River defines this central New York landscape, marking a vital junction for the regional waterway system. The village of Baldwinsville anchors the southwest, where the Erie Canal flows through the heart of town alongside Lock No. 24. To the north, the Oswego Canal follows its namesake river past the industrial and residential corridors of Phoenix and West Phoenix. Much of the central terrain is dedicated to the Three Rivers State Game Management Area, highlighting the balance between mid-century development and the preservation of the surrounding wetlands like Peter Scott Swamp. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Riverside Cemetery and Myrtle Grove Cem, while the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad tracks trace the industrial path between Belgium and Lampson.
